This Christmas Tree Dessert Doubles as a Snack and a Centerpiece
It’s true! This Christmas fruit tree doubles as the cutest holiday snack and a centerpiece all in one. BTW, if you’re looking for an adorable Christmas table setting idea, don’t miss this absolutely adorable Snowman Christmas Table Setting I did last Christmas.
How to Put Together a Fruit Christmas Tree
This grape Christmas tree is so much easier to make than it looks! Just wrap a styrofoam cone in Saran Wrap, stick your grapes onto toothpicks, and arrange them from biggest at the bottom to smallest at the top for that perfect tapered tree shape.
I added the star cocktail pic at the top but you could also use a mini star cookie cutter and slice pineapple if you want that whole fruit Christmas tree effect.
Believe it or not, I used about 4 pounds of grapes to make this grape Christmas tree.
What to Serve with Your Christmas Grape Tree
Serve with mini bowls of caramel and nuts… or if you’re one of those people who feel like nuts get in the way (oh hi, dad!) just skip the nuts completely, and it instantly becomes a simple two-ingredient dessert. Totally up to you!
What You need to Make a Grape Christmas Tree
Ingredients
• Grapes (I used 4 pounds — mixing red and green looks extra festive!)
• Caramel (store-bought or homemade)
• Crushed nuts (totally optional)
Supplies
• styrofoam cone
• Plastic wrap (place over the styrofoam cone)
• Toothpicks (to hold the grapes in place on the cone)
• A star for the top (cookie cutter, edible star, or anything cute!)
Toothpick Reminder
A quick reminder… this Fruit Christmas Tree with Grapes is held together with toothpicks, so let guests know before diving in, especially if kiddos are around. You could also display a note card with your holiday appetizer.
The Cutest Christmas Trees Are the Ones You Can Eat
Well, at least in this case! 😉 And this Fruit Christmas Tree is a fantastic Christmas dessert idea to serve at a holiday party. And speaking of edible Christmas trees (lol), I even made a Dill Pickle Christmas Tree appetizer too! I might need to stop playing with my food! 😉
